[The GLOBE Program @GLOBEProgram]

We are excited to announce the launch of our new #ObserveLikeArtemis Challenge!

Inspired by the Artemis II mission? From today (the 22nd of April) to the 22nd of May, show us what Earth means to you by taking GLOBE observations of your favorite features of Earth—whether it’s a cloud, a tree, a local waterway, or soil from a nearby forest! In May we’ll share the number of observations submitted for each sphere.

🌸 Peak bloom is coming – and what a year to celebrate it. As American turns 250, the restored Tidal Basin and the National Mall are ready for you thanks to @POTUS.

New trees. Renewed grounds. And U.S. Park Police on-site so every family can explore safely. Come join us at the National Mall.

Celebrating SPRING with a reminder that the projected start of peak bloom for Washington’s cherry blossoms is between March 29 and April 1! 🌸

Did you know the two Library of Congress cherry trees are among just a handful of documented originals from the 1912 gift from Japan? Including this one. 🧵⬇️

How the Golden Spiral Forms from Fibonacci Squares:

➰The spiral grows by nesting squares whose side lengths follow Fibonacci numbers

➰Each quarter-circle arc fits inside these squares to trace the smooth golden spiral curve

➰This setup keeps the spiral’s growth perfectly scaled, showing how Fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio fit like puzzle pieces

➰It’s like the Fibonacci sequence and golden ratio had a geometric chat and decided to draw themselves a spiral

@Morgret_STEAM @tinkercad @HanoverPublic Great job to your students! Their work turned out very well.
I hope they enjoyed learning how to design, prepare and print 3D custom work 💫🙌
Wonderful experience :)

[Jennifer Johnson @xJennJohnson]

A great list of resources for STEM!

@simonroses @Raspberry_Pi As soon as I am done with producing Shreveport-Bossier Maker Faire (March 28) and going to the Bayou Regional FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) with our 2 high school community teams in April 😅 It is on my list for sure!
I'll update you...or ask questions when I get there :)

[Jennifer Johnson @xJennJohnson]

So true, math is everywhere!

[U.S. Department of Education @usedgov]

No matter how you slice it, math matters.

Today we celebrate the curiosity and critical thinking that help students succeed in STEM and beyond. #PiDay

[Sesame Street @sesamestreet]

Today's number of the day is 3.14159! Happy #PiDay! 💜🔢

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

Today is March 14 (3.14) – Pi day.

The date today resembles 3.14159, the common approximation of the mathematical constant Pi, or π. This concurrence has given rise to an annual celebration from 1:59 pm - also the time of publication of this post (CET).

What is Pi?

Understanding Pi is essential if you want to make calculations for circles, cylinders, spheres, and anything circular, even an ellipse. Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. It doesn't matter how big or small the circle is - the ratio stays the same. Properties like this that stay the same when you change other attributes are called constants.

How are you celebrating Pi day?
